The weighing of the wands people. It's happening.
Danny walked through the halls of Hogwarts, heading towards the Weighing of the wands. He wasn't especially looking forward to it, but he wasn't dreading it either. Cujo was walking next to him lazily having been rudely awoken from his nap.
Danny hadn't fully gotten over his dream, but he really didn't want to talk about it. He knew Sam would know how to cheer him up but he just couldn't bear to tell her. For now, no one had to know.
Danny made it to the room and was about to knock when a woman with blonde hair and an ugly green outfit stopped him.
"You're the Casper champion," she said." I'm Rita Skeeter and I'd love to do an interview with you."
"Uh, no thanks." Danny said.
"It's just a quick interview, it will only take a minute."
"Not interested."
"Just a quick one!"
"No, sorry." Danny said and he knocked on the door. It opened to reveal all of the headmasters and all the champions save Harry. Danny walked in and the Skeeter woman followed. He stood against a wall with Cujo half-asleep next to him. A few minutes later there was another knock on the door and in came Harry.
"Perfect," Bagman said." Now, this is the weighing of the wands. It's just a quick check to make sure that your wands are working the best they can for the three tasks ahead of you." Danny inwardly groaned. He didn't want to hear from yet another wandmaker how strange his wand was.
And so the champions each took their turns having their wands weighed. Ollivander looked at Fleur's first, Cedric's next, then Krum, Harry, and finally Danny. Danny walked over to Ollivander, leaving the sleeping Cujo behind, and handed him his wand.
"Um," Lancer said," sorry to interrupt but are you sure it's good to leave that dog unsupervised?"
"He's asleep." Danny said and Ollivander began the inspection.
"An interesting mix of Acacia and... Cypress. Acacia is rather temperamental, choosing to pair with only the best and refusing to cast spells for anyone except it's owner, I only keep a few of these myself for those rare cases a wizard or witch will require one. Cypress is associated with nobility and in the old days was often matched with someone meant to die a heroic death but in these times that isn't as common as it used to be.
"13" and... is that... I've never seen one like this."
"What is it?" Bagman asked.
"It's got a thestral hair core." There was a gasp from most of the room." Not only is this extremely rare, but it's said that it is the most temperamental and most powerful core in existence." Ollivander looked up at Danny." I doubt this would work for me so would you?" Danny took the wand and casted a simple hair change charm. Turning Skeeter's hair from blonde to bubblegum pink and back again.
He walked back to Cujo and the champions were about to be dismissed when Skeeter reminded them about the pictures. Seeing as Danny was taller than most of the people in the room, save Maxime, he was in the back. It took them awhile but they finally got all the pictures and Danny woke Cujo up.
He walked quickly to the Great Hall and saw Sam and Tucker waiting for him. He smiled and went over to them.
"Hey," Sam said." How'd it go?"
"It was fine," Danny said." He said my wand was interesting and most people were suprised by the core."
"I got a letter from Pandora today," Sam said." She said Ellie misses us and can't wait for us to be home."
"Did you send that letter to Ellie?" Danny asked.
"Yeah."
"You two ready to eat?" Tucker asked.
"Yeah let's go." Danny said. The trio walked to the Great Hall and sat down a bit away from the rest of the kids.
A/N: so it's kinda short, but it covered his wand so... Yay? I dunno, I'm sick right now. This is probably terrible. Thank you Az the Dragon that was good advice. You've been writing on here since 2009. Wow.
